Hit and Run, November 7, 2007: Things You Probably Did Not Know

Australian surfer Mick Fanning won the Hang Loose Catarina Pro event in Brazil yesterday beating out defending two-year title holder Kelly Slater and fellow Aussie Taj Burrows to clinch the 2007 World Championship. You cannot see him from here on the shore, but trust me when I say he’s everything a blonde, blue-eyes Australian surfer should look like.

OK, don’t trust me.

See?

David Beckham is still over here in North America playing soccer? Really? Where is all the press? Where is the red carpet? Does ESPN still mention him every night on Sportscenter?

Ohhh… He’s playing in an exhibition game tonight with the Galaxy in Vancouver. Uh, yes. Thrilling. Yes. Vancouver Whitecaps. I am sure they are quite good. Up there with um… some Italian junior league.

The Islanders three goal third period surge was enough to take down the Rangers in a 3-2 victory on Tuesday night. Don’t care too much about this game, but just really wanted to post this great picture of Ben Walter.

I didn’t follow the link, so I could be off here, but isn’t Drew holding a Pinot Noir. The bottles are very similar shapes (are they the same?), but Chardonnay bottles are usually greenish and translucent while Pinot Noirs are dark and opaque. His bottle appears to be the latter.
